Description
EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES! This very handsome, two-storey, former farm cottage lies in the heart of a beautiful village just a stone s throw from the historic, bustling town of Cognac, and yet its setting, in an enclosed lawned garden surrounded by mature trees and shrubs and with far-reaching views over the church, gives it a tremendous sense of tranquillity.
You enter into the heart of the home, a large, vaulted kitchen dining area, with stairs leading to the upper floor and two doorway.. EXCLUSIVE TO BEAUX VILLAGES!

You enter into the heart of the home, a large, vaulted kitchen dining area, with stairs leading to the upper floor and two doorways leading into a light and airy lounge with a traditional stone Charentais fireplace. Behind the kitchen lie a bathroom, a separate WC and the entrance to one of two garages, and a workshop beyond, currently housing the gas boiler.
Upstairs, from the mezzanine and landing, there are 3 well-proportioned bedrooms, and a shower room with WC.
The existing layout of the rear of the ground floor means that with just a little ingenuity (and subject to the appropriate permissions), the first of the garages and the workshop could easily be converted into a substantial area of additional living space.
With its proximity to Cognac, its setting within a pretty Charentais commune, complete with bakery and mini-supermarket, and its flexibility as a dwelling, this delightful house would make a perfect home or even a lock up and leave holiday cottage. There is even a revenue from selling energy generated by the roof-mounted solar panels back to EDF.

The exchange rate on the day you make an offer on your property in France will not be the same as the rate you pay when you complete on your purchase, as currency markets move constantly. Any large rate movements may take it beyond your price range as the chart above illustrates the fluctuation and how much extra your property could have cost you.
The best way to avoid this significant risk is to plan your budget and currency strategy with an experienced currency specialist. They have been known to save you up to 4% compared to many high street banks, £4,000 for every £100,000, which soon adds up. They will also keep you up to date on market movements, help you set a rate in advance with a product called a Forward Contract - so you know exactly what you will pay for your property in sterling.
This is why we recommend Smart Currency Exchange Ltd. If exchange rate movements continue to be as unpredictable and as significant as they have been in the past then by not using Smart Currency Exchange Ltd your property could cost you £7,707 more.
